Parable of Man's being contented with (the goods of) this world, and his greed in seeking (them) and his indifference to the high and blessed estate of the spiritual who are his congeners (and are) crying, "Oh, would that my people might know!"

آن سگی در کو گدای کور دید ** حمله می‌آورد و دلقش می‌درید1045

A dog saw a blind beggar in the street, and was rushing at him and tearing his cloak.

گفته‌ایم این را ولی باری دگر ** شد مکرر بهر تاکید خبر

We have (already) related this, but it is repeated (here) once again in order to strengthen (the effect of) the story.

کور گفتش آخر آن یاران تو ** بر کهند این دم شکاری صیدجو

The blind man said to it (the dog), “Why, at this moment your friends are hunting and seeking prey on the mountain.

قوم تو در کوه می‌گیرند گور ** در میان کوی می‌گیری تو کور

Your kinsfolk are catching onagers in the mountains: you are catching blind men in the streets.”
